Only Hearts

This retro jean skirt is basically perfection! I had to style it with my sheer polka dot top and thigh high boots for a fun and playful look. Shop the entire look below. You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my videos.

I wanted this skirt as soon as I laid eyes on the Alexa Chung for AG Jeans collection. It was the perfect retro denim skirt that I had imagined so many times. No one was making it until now. I love the buttons up the front and the skirt has a really nice A-line silhouette, making it very flattering. I wanted to make sure I got the right size so the buttons were not being pulled in any way. I had to order two sizes and return one. I sized up one size from my usual jean size to get this fit. The smaller size fit, but the buttons were being pulled a little bit more. Snag the skirt here while you can because it is selling out fast. The other piece I wanted from the collection was the denim dress and I was also able to snag that. I will be showing you the dress in an upcoming post so stay tuned. I have a love affair with denim skirts and own another one that I love by Acne. It is a completely different style and less retro than this one. You can see how I wore it last summer with a crochet top and Chanel sandals here.

I recently snagged this sheer polka dot top as well. I had the top near the denim skirt when I noticed how good they looked together and from there an outfit was born. The Lisa Perry top is something I had on my wish list for a while, but I wasn't sure if I really wanted to take the plunge. I am not that into polka dots, but this top has some edge thanks to the black color and the sheer material. I thought it could be a versatile piece and possibly be layered with dresses and other tops in the future. It is made in the USA and I was very impressed by the quality. I only own one other piece by Lisa Perry that I snagged a couple years ago. It was a skirt and you can see me wearing it here with thigh high boots. I am wearing a size 2 in the top. You want this type of top to be looser and not as tight otherwise it will pull the material. For other polka dot pieces I own check out this post where I wear Miu Miu polka dot sandals and this one where I wear a polka dot blouse.

I was going for somewhat of a retro look with this ensemble, but thanks to the boots it turned out a bit sexier than I planned. Somehow these boots look really innocent when they are sitting in my closet. When I slip them on I realize just how sultry they are thanks to the high/low cut. These Miu Miu boots are higher in the front and lower in the back. I love that I don't have to deal with the lace-up detailing in the back. There is just one tiny zipper and I am done. You can see how I wore the boots in the fall with a burgundy leather mini skirt here. The boots run true to size.

Of course I needed to wear something underneath the sheer top and almost all my bras are sheer. I found one that wasn't sheer by doing a little digging. This Only Hearts bra is actually one of my favorites, but somehow it got buried underneath some other bras and forgotten about. I wore it here with a pajama blouse, leather shorts, and crazy wedges. I think it really looks nice under the polka dot top as well. I am wearing a size small in the bra.

On a rainy day I like to wear boyfriend jeans and my trusty leather jacket. To spice up the outfit I wore a high cut bodysuit with cutouts and pointed patent pumps. Shop the entire look below. You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my videos.
